This Wedding DayShotList is in no way a complete guide to shooting a wedding. At all. What we do as artists cannot be summed up in a series of boxes to check…I know this. However, when I started shooting weddings, I felt like I was always missing something. I'd leave a wedding and agonize over the things I overlooked. So I made a list for myself. This list was merely meant to serve as a foundation…every wedding is entirely unique, but if I documented the basics with confidence, it freed me to be creative and push my artistic comfortability. That's what this list is comprised of: the basics.
The Wedding Day Shot List includes a link to a full wedding gallery, walking the reader through what a typical wedding looks like for me, photographed from start to finish. To download this 48-page PDF, feel free to visit: http://jasminestarstore.com/shotlist

Wedding photography tips for Invited Guests by GeneConstant
Most people have the good fortune to be invited to witness the happy event of a couple's spiritual and legal bonding through the ritual of a wedding.
These rare and happy events oftentimes result in shared moments that we like to re-live again and again through the pictures we take. At weddings I have noticed that as many as half of the guests are armed with a camera and are able to capture shots that the paid photographer would be unable to cover.
After having lived the moment, it is very disappointing to learn that, upon receipt of your processed film, that the guest's shots did not turn out as well as desired. For many of the guests it may have been their intent to send a copy of that special image to the happy couple, only to have those warm and fuzzy feelings dashed by undesired results.
Let's face it, the odds were stacked against you from the start. For most people, they are invited to weddings every now and then, and therefore lack the experience necessary to achieve the desired effects. For others, they were given bad advise by well meaning department store clerks. Guests, while expert at their chosen professions, are not professional photographers.
Step 1: Pull your camera out of the closet and check the batteries. Some cameras have built-in battery testers while others require a simple camera operation and still other cameras require a trip to the camera store.
For those without battery testers, you can test your own camera, assuming it does not have film in it, by opening up the back of the camera. Looking from the back, through the lens, press the shutter release button and see if you can see light through the lens. If you can see any light when the shutter button is pressed, be assured that the film can be exposed or that your memory card will get an image.
If in doubt or if you want to be careful, take your battery to a store for testing or go ahead and buy a new battery. It is better to be safe than sorry! The camera test not only tells you if the battery is providing power to the camera, but it also assures you that the camera is in good working order. a good battery is no guarantee that the camera will work. After all, the camera could have developed mechanical problems.
Now, test the flash by turning the flash on and attempting to take a picture without film if your camera is not a digital camera. Time the number of seconds it takes for the flash to be ready for the next picture. A good rule of thumb is to replace batteries if the flash takes longer than ten seconds to recharge. A set of batteries should enable you to take about sixty pictures if they are all taken with a flash.

History

Uniregistry Corporation was officially founded in 2012 by Frank Schilling, one of the largest private domain name portfolio owners in the world, and registered in the Cayman Islands. However, the domain Uniregistry.com was registered six years earlier and the company filed an intent to use the name in the Cayman Islands in 2010. Trademark applications for the "Uniregistry" mark and its stylized "U" logo were filed in 2012. That year, Schilling invested $60 million and applied for 54 new top-level domains. Uniregistrar Corporation became an ICANN-accredited registrar in February 2013. In January 2014, Uniregistry Inc. became a subsidiary in Newport Beach, California to house a West Coast service and support team. The registrar began operating under the licensed Uniregistry brand name in 2014. Uniregistry's registry infrastructure was designed by Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) and Uniregistry subsequently purchased its infrastructure in 2013.

Photo (song)

"Photo" is the second single Ryan Cabrera released from his 2005 studio album You Stand Watching. Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas, Cabrera's girlfriend at the time, played his love interest in the song's music video. In the Philippines, the song reached #21.

Photo (French magazine)

History and profile

Photo was started by Hachette Filipacchi Médias as a monthly magazine in 1960. It was modeled on the magazine American Photo. The magazine is now published ten times a year. It concentrates on the artistic aspects of photography, rather than technical aspects. The editorial line is tripartite: fashion/nude/glamour, historical images of wars/guillotines/poverty or similar, and selected journalism news photos from around the world. It is read and distributed around the world, and is known featuring naked models, colorful saturated graphic images, and its annual amateur photography contest.

Wedding (TV series)

Wedding (Hangul:웨딩;RR:We-ding) is an 18-episode South Korean television drama that aired on KBS2 in 2005. The series explores the relationship of a newly wed couple, showing how two people, who met and married through an arranged matchmaking, slowly develop a relationship and learn what it means to be married. Some of the issues explored include what is the most important thing in a marriage, trust and honesty between a couple, how past relationships affect present, and the role of family in a relationship. Unlike other dramas written by Oh Soo-yeon, which focused on people falling in love by fate or destiny, this one is about two people with very different personalities, values, and backgrounds, and seeing how they learn to love one another despite all of their differences.

Berlin-Wedding station

S-Bahn station

Wedding S-Bahn station first opened on 1 May 1872. It is part of the Berlin Ringbahn, a circular line traversing many of the central districts of the city. The service, however, was disrupted in 1961 by the building of the Berlin Wall and Wedding S-Bahn station went out of use in 1980 after passenger numbers on the route fell to unsustainable levels.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, many disused S-Bahn routes were gradually reinstated. The section of line between the stations Westhafen and Gesundbrunnen, with Wedding as the only intermediate station, was the last of these to be reopened. This occurred on 16 June 2002, a date which was nicknamed Wedding-Day, a pun based on the clash of meanings of the word 'wedding' in English and German.

U-Bahn station

Wedding U-Bahn station first opened on 8 March 1923 along with the rest of the newly built line between the stations Stettiner Bahnhof (now Naturkundemuseum) and Seestraße. It was opened bearing the name Bahnhof Wedding (Wedding station), reflecting the fact that there existed interchange with the adjoining station served by long-distance trains. It was given its current name in 1972 as the station no longer existed, and has greatly increased in significance since 2002 when the interchange with the S-Bahn was reinstated.

Neoui Gyeolhonsig (album)

Your Wedding (너의 결혼식 Neo ui gyeolhonsig) was released on December 26, 2002, becoming Shinhwa's sixth studio album. With the release of Your Wedding, Shinhwa also broke the record for being the longest running boy band in the history of Korea, a record they are still currently holding as they have not yet disbanded. Shinhwa was also the second artist to in South Korea to release two albums (Perfect Man and Your Wedding) in a year, with Sechs Kies being first. Your Wedding sold approximately 273,714 copies. It was their final album with SM Entertainment. It was marketed in Japan as Wedding - Kimi to deatta toki (Japanese: ウェディング～君と出逢ったとき).

Wedding Day Photo Shot List

http://jasminestarstore.com
This Wedding DayShotList is in no way a complete guide to shooting a wedding. At all. What we do as artists cannot be summed up in a series of boxes to check…I know this. However, when I started shooting weddings, I felt like I was always missing something. I'd leave a wedding and agonize over the things I overlooked. So I made a list for myself. This list was merely meant to serve as a foundation…every wedding is entirely unique, but if I documented the basics with confidence, it freed me to be creative and push my artistic comfortability. That's what this list is comprised of: the basics.
The Wedding Day Shot List includes a link to a full wedding gallery, walking the reader through what a typical wedding looks like for me, photographed from start to...

Wedding photography tips. Wedding photography ideas, checklist

Wedding photography tips for Invited Guests by GeneConstant
Most people have the good fortune to be invited to witness the happy event of a couple's spiritual and legal bonding through the ritual of a wedding.
These rare and happy events oftentimes result in shared moments that we like to re-live again and again through the pictures we take. At weddings I have noticed that as many as half of the guests are armed with a camera and are able to capture shots that the paid photographer would be unable to cover.
After having lived the moment, it is very disappointing to learn that, upon receipt of your processed film, that the guest's shots did not turn out as well as desired. For many of the guests it may have been their intent to send a copy of that special image to the happy couple, only...

Wedding photography tips for Invited Guests by GeneConstant
Most people have the good fortune to be invited to witness the happy event of a couple's spiritual and legal bonding through the ritual of a wedding.
These rare and happy events oftentimes result in shared moments that we like to re-live again and again through the pictures we take. At weddings I have noticed that as many as half of the guests are armed with a camera and are able to capture shots that the paid photographer would be unable to cover.
After having lived the moment, it is very disappointing to learn that, upon receipt of your processed film, that the guest's shots did not turn out as well as desired. For many of the guests it may have been their intent to send a copy of that special image to the happy couple, only to have those warm and fuzzy feelings dashed by undesired results.
Let's face it, the odds were stacked against you from the start. For most people, they are invited to weddings every now and then, and therefore lack the experience necessary to achieve the desired effects. For others, they were given bad advise by well meaning department store clerks. Guests, while expert at their chosen professions, are not professional photographers.
Step 1: Pull your camera out of the closet and check the batteries. Some cameras have built-in battery testers while others require a simple camera operation and still other cameras require a trip to the camera store.
For those without battery testers, you can test your own camera, assuming it does not have film in it, by opening up the back of the camera. Looking from the back, through the lens, press the shutter release button and see if you can see light through the lens. If you can see any light when the shutter button is pressed, be assured that the film can be exposed or that your memory card will get an image.
If in doubt or if you want to be careful, take your battery to a store for testing or go ahead and buy a new battery. It is better to be safe than sorry! The camera test not only tells you if the battery is providing power to the camera, but it also assures you that the camera is in good working order. a good battery is no guarantee that the camera will work. After all, the camera could have developed mechanical problems.
Now, test the flash by turning the flash on and attempting to take a picture without film if your camera is not a digital camera. Time the number of seconds it takes for the flash to be ready for the next picture. A good rule of thumb is to replace batteries if the flash takes longer than ten seconds to recharge. A set of batteries should enable you to take about sixty pictures if they are all taken with a flash.

Wedding Photograph Checklist

http://cazillo.com/articles/37-photography/240-wedding-photography-checklist.html
Here is my wedding photography checklist. If you are just getting into weddings or are getting married yourself please feel free to use it as a starting point for all of your photographs. Sign up for the newsletter at the link above to get a FREE copy.

This week I'm sharing 17 must have wedding photos and ideas!
This checklist will help budding wedding photographers as well as brides to be in knowing which shots need to be taken throughout the wedding day.
Thank you to Steve and Amy for allowing me to film behind the scenes and showcasing the structure and magic that happened throughout the day at this beautiful Melbourne wedding.

Wedding Day Photo Shot List

http://jasminestarstore.com
This Wedding DayShotList is in no way a complete guide to shooting a wedding. At all. What we do as artists cannot be summed up in a series of boxes to check…I know this. However, when I started shooting weddings, I felt like I was always missing something. I'd leave a wedding and agonize over the things I overlooked. So I made a list for myself. This list was merely meant to serve as a foundation…every wedding is entirely unique, but if I documented the basics with confidence, it freed me to be creative and push my artistic comfortability. That's what this list is comprised of: the basics.
The Wedding Day Shot List includes a link to a full wedding gallery, walking the reader through what a typical wedding looks like for me, photographed from start to finish. To download this 48-page PDF, feel free to visit: http://jasminestarstore.com/shotlist

Hey photo friends! Want to photograph more first looks? You might be describing them wrong. Here are 5 tips on how to describe first looks to couples in a way that gets them excited about doing one, and about YOU being the photographer to capture it for them!
The Breakdown:
1) Change Your Motivation: 00:25
Is your heart in the right place when it comes to the benefits of first looks? (Hint: it's not about the photography!)
2) Ease Their Minds 01:31
As a photographer, the bride and groom look to you for advice. Some couples are downright stressed! Do you know how to take the pressure off about this important decision?
3) Share Your Perspective: 02:48
How can you describe the first look to your couples and paint a beautiful picture that makes them eagerly anticipate one of the most special moments of their day.
4) Explain the Addition, Not the Takeaway 04:26
What if a first look doesn't take away from your wedding day, but instead, adds to it?
5) The NEWTradition 05:38
Just where DID that tradition of 'bad luck' to see each other before the wedding ceremony come from anyway? It's kinda funny!

History

Uniregistry Corporation was officially founded in 2012 by Frank Schilling, one of the largest private domain name portfolio owners in the world, and registered in the Cayman Islands. However, the domain Uniregistry.com was registered six years earlier and the company filed an intent to use the name in the Cayman Islands in 2010. Trademark applications for the "Uniregistry" mark and its stylized "U" logo were filed in 2012. That year, Schilling invested $60 million and applied for 54 new top-level domains. Uniregistrar Corporation became an ICANN-accredited registrar in February 2013. In January 2014, Uniregistry Inc. became a subsidiary in Newport Beach, California to house a West Coast service and support team. The registrar began operating under the licensed Uniregistry brand name in 2014. Uniregistry's registry infrastructure was designed by Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) and Uniregistry subsequently purchased its infrastructure in 2013.
